Very friendly staff. Good amount of options on the menu. Convenient location. Near bus stop, can get here from hotel zone by R1 or R2. Very tasty pastor, which is visibly grilling on site. Had my first pina colata there, tasty. Outdoor seating and indoor seating. Cool little Poblano statue to take photo with. read more

We had the queso, fajitas de camarón, pastor taco plate & agua chiles. Every plate exceeded my expectations. The fajitas de camarón were full of flavor, the agua chiles were spicy and made fresh when ordered. The pastor meat was hands down the best I've had in Cancun. Will definitely be coming back when I'm in town. There's no picture for reference but trust it was all amazing. read more

Awesome local joint. When you're visiting Cancun? Stay out of the hotel zone to eat. Everything is priced double. Yes this is kind of a tourist spot but a lot of locals eat here. Unreal Al pastor and salsa. Cheap and cold beer. What more can you ask for? Lii I ya of other spots nearby as well. read more

Taquerías El Poblano - Gringa! Pastor meat with melted Mexican cheese in a flour tortilla. - Tacos Near Me - Cancún, ROO

The food is good but what I liked the most about this place was the server Agustin we had so much fun with him he was amazing! I'll definitely be coming back! read more

I really swore I was gonna get the real deal in Mexico. They are serving tourist bologne, turkey burgers, some sh^t that pissed me the hell off. But whatever it is it's not beef. They better get their heads right if they think they are gonna swindle me and then think I'mma pay for the meal and TIP them. If I dont accept subpar in America, I damn sure ain't gonna accept it in MX. Plus the waiter despises Cubans and was ragging on the cook, who is Cuban. Cuban cooking in Mexico. Honestly, I should have known better. This place is broke down, the area is broke down, the people are broke down. read more

This is a super cheap taco stand (I believe it's a small chain, with a couple other locations nearby) in the middle of Cancun. I enjoyed my time here, but I probably won't make the trip all the way out here from the hotel zone just for the tacos. 1) Prices are amazing. Al pastor tacos are just MX$10 (about 60 US cents) each, a complete steal. Other items are slightly pricier, but the tacos are where it's at! Also, you will get an order of free chips and salsa with your meal. My total, with 5 al pastor tacos, chips and salsa, and a bottle of water, was only MX$90 with a tip (about $5 US). 2) While I enjoyed the tacos, I thought they were a bit dry. When you look at most al pastor spits (see my photo below), the meat is usually caramelized and sort of gleams from all the juices; this one did not do that. While the tortillas, condiments, and salsas were all good, the meat itself was just "allright." 3) The service was fast, the view was nice, and the outdoor patio is covered. Even in the humidity, it was a pleasant place to sit for lunch. 4) They have outdoor sinks so you can wash your hands before and after eating! Bottom line: a solid choice for a meal if you are already downtown, but don't come all the way out here from the strip just to eat here. read more

After a day at the beach, the city bus from the Cancun Hotel Zone can drop you off here. Take advantage of that and get the rib steak here. It is the best steak i've had in ages and it's worth a repeat visit if I go back. I believe salt was the only seasoning required since the meat itself was just delightful, even the fat was worth chewing over. Other great finds here are the tortilla soup which was a touch lemony as well as the poblano tacos which are only 10 pesos each and let you try that giant spinning meat, which is very similar to a shawarma/doner/gyros It's very fun to soak up the atmosphere here which felt very familial and authentic. read more

Came here because someone recommended it to us. We drove around looking for it and not being used to how the roads work here, we got lost and were unable to find the way there, but after a few tries we were able to find a parking spot and got a table. We ordered some tacos and they weren't bad. They had a variety of sauces to go with the chips and none were too spicy or too flavorful. The meat in the taco was tender, but the flavor was too salty. I added some of the sauce onto the taco, which added some texture and helped with the dryness of the meat, but it was saltiness on top of more salt. I wouldn't come back here per se. Food wasn't great, service kept disappearing, and overall not great. read more

So this place is an amazing find! When you are headed there you may be approached by their waitresses and some from the competing restaurant. El Poblano had a "trompa" of meat that was being prepared for their Tacos Al Pastor. The food is everything you would want the local flavor to be like. The carne asada, chorizo, and pasor tacos were full of flavor. The service here is great. It is fun to sit and enjoy a meal by a busy road that offers such an experience for all of your senses. Enjoy!! read more

Taquerías El Poblano - Making some tacos - Tacos Near Me - Cancún, ROO

I ordered two tacos al pastor, at 10 pesos each, and they came out within 5 minutes, as we watched the meat as it was freshly sliced off the pastor (if that's what it's called). On top of the meat was a mix of chopped onions and cilantro as well as a few slices of pineapple and lime wedges. To use as extra flavoring, we were provided with salsa verde and what looked like a red habanero sauce in a cute tray. I added both of the sauces liberally onto the taco, as the meat was well flavored by itself. The corn tortillas were slightly warmed, and a good balance of flavor to the toppings. Overall, for only 20 pesos, or about one USD, the tacos were incredible. read more

Great tacos! Highly recommend the pork tacos, seasoned to perfection. Staff was super nice, especially the boss. We were also able to be great excursion recommendations and discounts! read more

I'd give this place zero stars but that isn't an option. This place is terrible! They don't have soap to wash your hands in the restroom or outside sinks. Makes you wonder where the employees wash their hands. The meat was cold and the salsa containers have been sitting out on the table covered in flies for hours. I would definitely avoid this place. read more

Honestly, the al pastor tacos & horchata here was amazing & would recommend it to anyone! The service, music & surroundings was amazing!

Fun vibe. Went here the first night in Cancun. It was like everyone knew each other and the main man treated us like we were locals. Definitely recommend it for a fun late night place. read more

Great taco place! Cheaper than touristy hotel zone. Pastor tacos are cheaper than other tacos and delicious! The other tacos don't come with onions. Also see saw locals get buckets of beer with 3 dollars. I think that is the best deal. Plus you get to see the fire show while they are grilling. read more

Great tacos and not too expensive. Open very late and has a great atmosphere with most locals stopping off for a late night snack while enjoying each others company and great music!! read more
